An odd linguistic request ...

My stepson is reading a book by Jordan Sonnenblick--I highly recommend the author for teens, by the way, awesome stuff. Anyway, he came across the Yiddish word "tuchis" (meaning butt) and there's no pronunciation guide so we know how it's supposed to be said. I looked on Google, but I don't know how to interpret the pronunciation symbols, and my speech program says everything phonetically if it doesn't recognize the words. Does anybody know how to say this word aloud?
